one day and offered to trade oil SOME
land for the team. They drovq out to
the land, which was slxtdcn-acrc

were there. Mr. Kellogg took ten acres
of the tract at 500 an acre, the team
harness and wagon being counted At
I $500. In a few months he purchased the
other six acres at 500 an acre. This
was in '63. IL has held On 10 a part of
the land with great persistence since that

He sold seven -eighths Of an acre out Of

lame girl in quick voice of pain. "a

He cares nothing at all for YOU

perhaps, YOU realize what little sim

The auburn head was lowered sud
denly. and two white little hands were
flung over Hilda's coIorless face. A
moment after, and Guy caught the sound
Of quick sobblng. mingled with the low
ripple Of laughter from Inez
"Oh, / didn't accept him." pursued
the fute-like tones of the woman he had
thought almost an angel. 81 don't care
to bury myself in this dull old place.
and besides, know Mr.. Jarvis was very
much pleased with me, aud he's worth

1t all passed through to where Guy had
stood so long, spell bound unconscious
that he should not stand there Touched
to the soul by the passionate weeping Of
OF Hilda, love dying in his heart for Incz
it all came to him, through the dis
tance between, because fate had ordained
that the door should be for half an hour
ajar.
The lame girl had subducd her emo
ton, picked up her crutch, and left the
drawing room before the young man re-
covered presence of mind enough to
glide quietly away and gain the hall by
another door.
That night his guests were rather sur
prised to find that their handsome host
scarcely left IIilda Dallas for moment;
and perhaps some Of them noticed also
how sweet her face was, with IFS chang
ing color and great shy eyes of purple
with a touch of pathos in their velvet
depths; that night, for the first time,
Guy saw beauty in another face than that

dull jealous pain made the beautiful
blonde realize that she would purchase

give in exchange for it the love of Guy

A DARING RAID.

A chapter of the war, one of the most /

The bill on which the report is founded /

Mitchell had advanced his column as far

OF the South while Mitchell moved his
army down to capture Chattanooga. The
soldiers Of this torlorn hope, dressed in
citizens clothes, set out by twos and
threes to meet at Marietta, Ga. Their
plan was to take passage on some north
bound train, overpower the guard, seize
the engine, and burn BRIDGE and tear
up tracks behind them as they dashed
along.
The first part of the programme was
successful. While the train was stopped
for breakfast, leaving the engine un~
guarded, at a signal the raiders, who
had bought tickets and been travel
! ing as ordinary passengers sprang into
the cab, pulled the valve open, and
/ drew out with an engine, tender and
/ three cars. A few moments placed the ex-
! ulting party beyond any seeming danger of
successful pursuit, because there was no
! telegraph and no other engine at hand.
! INF ortunately, however Mitche!rs ad-
vance had alarmed the Southerners, and
the rolling stock about Chattanooga had
been ordered South, out Of danger The
forlorn hope on the captured train were
met b. these trains. Andrews, in char ge
of the party represented -nimscf as a

1t was months later; Mrs. Nettic Len
nox and the gay party she had brought
with her for the summer to her old home
were about to scatter themselves in dif-
fercnt directions.
Many an idyi had had its beginning in
those glad days of heat and sunshine,
and few pleasant love dreams had
died, that which Inez Cameron had so
carelessly laughed down month before
was IN its shroud and coffin, and a
warm, living love was stirring in every
pulse of Guy, as, IN the hush of a still
evening, he and Inez came face to face
in the very spot which once saw him
plead cloquentIy with her for her love.
She was rarely, dangerously lovely as
she smiled ut him, but no pulse in his
heart stirred never so family while he

A Conference Committee Appointed
by the & Enerican Board and Board

CHICAGO, Jan. "a joint meeting of
the American board and the Board OF Erin.
the two divisions of the Ancient Order of
HibernanS was held this afternoon to dis
cuss the possibility of uniting the two ele-
ments into which the order was separated a
few years ago by the refusal of the Board
of Erin, located in Ireland, to recognize a
delegate elected by the American branches.
2. O'Neill presided over the meeting of the
sections. the members of which sat upon
opposi; sides of the long hall. In
a session lasting three hours many
pleading and conciliatory speeches We're
made by delegates on either side A union
was urged by Richard Powers in the name
of the Catholic church, whose prop he said
the order was. and in the name of their
suffering countrymen. whose brothers they
all were. Another speaker. Stephen Car
mody. intimated that British spies had
something to do with the existing differ
ences. The spies, he said, were in every
Ilsh society fomenting differences. At the
conclusion of the discussion it was agreed
that each side should appoint conference
committee of seven to arrange union.

children. and especially their daughters.
that it is useless and unnecessary for them
to learn to do anything useful in connec
ton with domestic manual labor. says the
Harrisburg Independent. 1t is no uncom-
mon expression in the higher circles of So
ciety for ladies to declare: My husband
or ''my father is rich; why then. should /
demean myself by manual labol?" In such
society it is deemed vulgar for lady to
know how to do a useful thing in connec-
ton with housekeeping. Parents in these
cases rear their daughters not to learn to do
the useful, and many mothers, whose hus-
bands are under hard strain every day III
the year to find the wherewithal to keep UP
appearances, impress their daughters with
the idea that labor is degrading. and that a
hand which shows any signs of manual
labor will not be sought i'll marriage by a
gentleman. We confess we do not know
how true this is. If it is correct, then
indeed it is evidence Of lack eff manhood;
and. if it is not trle is wicked libel on
the character of an American gentleman.
Girls who won't learn to do useful things
at home because their fathers are rich lose
opportunities to fit themselves to meet the
eXigencies and the accidents of life. 1t has
always been the custom for the princes Of
Germany to learn trades The Bourbon
princes of France all acquired trades. Some
of them were printers, boGkbinders. ship
wrights, house carpenters. joiners and
painters; they did not follow these voca-
ti0ns, but they understood them. Royal
and princely ladies i'll Germany and France
understand every function of housekeep-
ing and know how to perform it, They
can 90 to the dairy and stable AMI handle
milk or COW and horse with dexterity
and satisfaction. The Prince of Wales is a
bookbinder. Each of his brothers has a
trade. and his sons are now learning trades
according to their tastes. All the ladies OF
the English royal household are accom-
plished in practical things-they know how
to do useful things even if they are never
called to perform them.
The mawkiShneSs or sentimentality which
encourages girls not to learn to do useful,
practical and Strengthening labor is de-
basement of the noblest impulses of nature.
When such an incubation is encouraged it
tends to deprive girls especially from devel-
oping their mental and physical forces, to
enervate them and impair functions which.
if properly trained, might develop the good
and grand in their character. Work properly
performed is recuperator, not an exhauster,
of mental and physical forces. Knowledge
is power. is an axiom of truth. To know
how TO Go the useful is an accomplishment
of which any girl can be proud, and es-
pecialy an American girl.
